Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother depicts destitute pea pickers in California, centering on Florence Owens Thompson, age 32, a mother of seven children, in Nipomo, California, March 1936. I chose this photo because it has always really stuck out to me. When I think of The Great Depression, this is it. You can see her somberness, anxiety, and stress all in one photo. The way she furrows her eyebrow and how she's touching her bottom jaw makes you feel how she must have been feeling during this dark time.
